MERIT REVIEW ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 12/29/2025. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED: 1. Plaintiff's Complaint and this case are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE because the Court lacks jurisdiction to consider Plaintiff's asserted claim. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3). 2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment in Defendants' favor and against Plaintiff. 3. All other pending motions are denied as moot, and this case is terminated. All deadlines and settings on the Court's calendar are vacated. 4. If he wishes to appeal this judgment, Plaintiff must file a notice of appeal with this Court within thirty (30) days of the entry of judgment. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4). 5. If he wishes to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, Plaintiff's motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis must identify the issues that he will present on appeal to assist the Court in determining whether the appeal is taken in good faith. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(1)(c); Celske v. Edwards, 164 F.3d 396, 398 (7th Cir. 1999) (an appellant should be given an opportunity to submit a statement of his grounds for appealing so that the district judge "can make a responsible assessment of the issue of good faith."); Walker v. O'Brien, 216 F.3d 626, 632 (7th Cir. 2000) (providing that a good faith appeal is an appeal that "a reasonable person could suppose... has some merit" from a legal perspective). 6. If he chooses to appeal, Plaintiff will be liable for the $605.00 appellate filing fee regardless of the outcome of the appeal. SEE FULL WRITTEN ORDER.(SAG)
